AFTER.WE FINISHED POURING THE BOND BEAM, WE CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY, REMOVED THE FORMS, SET THE SCAFFOLDING, LIFTED THE BEAMS INTO PLACE AND BLOCKED IN BETWEEN THE BEAMS WITH ADOBE. WE THEN TOOK DOWN THE SCAFFOLDING, CLEANED UP THE MESS, AND WENT HOME.

IN THE PHOTO ABOVE YOU CAN SEE THE DOUBLE BOND BEAMS.

SOME BUILDERS, NOT WANTING TO GO TO THE TROUBLE OF ADDING A SECOND BOND BEAM, WILL ARGUE THAT ALL THEY NEED IS THE LOWER BOND BEAM. OBVIOUSLY, I DISAGREE WITH THAT.
